MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Glucosamine, an amino sugar and natural compound found in cartilage, is often used as a dietary supplement. Now, an eye-catching new study from West Virginia University is reporting glucosamine supplements may actually reduce one’s risk of cardiovascular-related death — and death in general for that matter — just as much as a regular exercise routine.
Considering how essential regular exercise is, these findings are sure to raise an eyebrow or two.
“Does this mean that if you get off work at five o’clock one day, you should just skip the gym, take a glucosamine pill and go home instead?” says study leader Dana King, professor and chair of the Department of Family Medicine, in a release. “That’s not what we suggest. Keep exercising, but the thought that taking a pill would also be beneficial is intriguing.”
King and her co-authors took data on 16,686 people (at least 40 years old) originally collected by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999-2010. They then combined those statistics with mortality figures from 2015.

Hate to break it to the conductors of the study.....but death is a 100% certainty.
I give them to my dog. Found them at Costco. They seem to help. She is almost 14 and can still bound up the steps except for late at night. then it is a slow climb
I take Glucosamine w/MSM daily and I haven’t died yet...
How did they narrow this down to glucosamine alone, because in other parts of this story they say people were taking glucosammine/chondroitin?
Does it work if I take it with a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate cake? ;-)
That’s very encouraging! :-)
I, too, have been taking G/C+MSM for years and am still drawing breath.
Red wine and chocolate cake...nothing better!
As for the glucosamine, who knows? It probably doesn’t harm you, I used to give it to my horse (who did live to be 35, which is ancient for a horse), it doesn’t taste good or even like anything...so therefore you have to have the wine and cake to wash it down!
I’m going to take a double dose and in 40 years put myself up for adoption.
Got a couple of caps sitting here on the desk.
Thanks for reminding me I should take one!
“I give them to my dog. Found them at Costco.”
Costco shareholder thank you.
Fun listening, IIRC he suggested collecting the bones from behind KFC, grinding them for glucosamine...
Sold mass volumes of vitamins.
I would think people who take glucosamine would be inclined to take other supplements also. How would they determine which ones are doing the good?
I like your plan! :)
The MainStream Media is a sure killer. It causes extreme hypertension.
I’m still here too with my daily dose.
Heh. Figure that out by yourself, didja??
Seriously, though; what’s not worthwhile about death put off ten or twenty years?

Just exercise. Costs less with proven benefits
Get mine there too, been taking them for several years. Like seeing this!
I also already take most of the stuff in the EVMS Covid prophylactic protocol.
